PENNGUARD 28 BLOCK
DESCRIPTION PENNGUARD 28 Block is a foamed borosilicate glass. As an inorganic glass, it is highly resistant to acids, solvents, and weak bases. Refer to Chemical Resistance of PENNGUARD Block CER-299 for more details. The block can resist temperatures up to 960F (516C). The material is made as a closed cell foamed glass block and is virtually impermeable to liquids and gases. PENNGUARD 28 Block is lightweight, and retains low thermal conductivity even when immersed in acid. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion provides excellent resistance to thermal shock. Consult ATOFINA Chemicals, Inc. specification CES-350, entitled " Specifications for Installation for PENNGUARD Block Lining System" for complete installation details. AREAS OF USE PENNGUARD 28 Block offers a unique approach to protecting flue gas handling equipment such as ductwork, chimneys, and scrubber inlets/outlets found in coal fired power plants and other industrial facilities. It is suitable for metal, concrete, brick, and FRP substrates. It protects from acid condensate corrosion, while providing excellent thermal insulation and energy conservation, even in saturated flue gas environments. Due to its low expansion, PENNGUARD 28 Block can be used in bypass gas service conditions. The block is installed in a manner similar to chemically-resistant masonry, utilizing PENNGUARD Adhesive/Membrane (Product Data sheet CE-220) to bond the block to the substrate, to seal and form side joints between the faces of adjacent block. This technology does not support combustion, and may be used alone or in combination with refractories, acid brick, or acid resistant gunites & castables to provide a combination of corrosion protection and heat conservation. OUTSTANDING FEATURES Resistant to corrosive flue gas environments. Resists temperatures up to 960F (516C). Low thermal expansion provides excellent resistance to upset temperatures. Excellent thermal insulation, energy savings, eliminates external insulation. Virtually zero permeability, capillarity, and absorption, closed celled structure. Lightweight, suitable for shop or field application.
